Closing her small bookstore is the end of a dream for Rachel Marks. With debt collectors calling and nowhere to turn, she knows she’ll have to do whatever she can to make ends meet. When a waitressing job opens up at the hottest club in town, Rachel figures she can swallow her pride and put up with it long enough to pay off her bills—as long as she can avoid her mysterious and devastatingly sexy new boss, Devon Carnavorn, a man who’s as hard to trust as he is to resist.

Devon is a fallen vampire, part of a clan who exist as outcasts from the world of the living and denied the pleasures of the undead. Forced to endure a meaningless and loveless eternity with no hope for reprieve, he is bent on self-destruction—until he meets Rachel, a ravishing woman who fires his passion for the first time in centuries and may be his one chance at a dark salvation.

As the two spar and tangle in the dark and decadent club, where sexual frenzy pulses in time with the throbbing music, Rachel finds her blood running hot for Devyn. He’s a masterful, creative lover, wakening her to searing physical pleasures she’s never imagined and desires so dark and dangerous her heart races every time they touch. But there’s a price for each shattering encounter, and with the promise of giving Rachel the ultimate ecstasy, Devon will demand the ultimate sacrifice.

About the Author:Romantic Times Award Winning author Devyn Quinn lives in the middle nowhere New Mexico. It is so tiny and boring that the only thing enchanting about it is waving goodbye as you leave. Seriously. It’s that small.

To keep from going loco, Devyn collects and ride motorcycles. She is the proud owner of a Harley, a Honda and a Classic 2001 Ninja ZX-12R–which makes her the fastest, most dangerous writer on the road. Really. Devyn likes to go fast. Light speed fast. She will probably die in a massive fiery crash, but thinks she will enjoy herself before that final “oh, sh*t!” moment hits.

At least she has enough toys to play with.

But about the books.

Devyn has written a few. Well, okay. More than one, but less than 100. Some of those books –um, 2– have been nominated for the Romantic Times Reviewer’s Choice Award. Devyn even managed to pull off a win in 2010, for her 2009 erotic romance title, Possession. Demons? Check. Sex? Check. Everyone having a major nervous breakdown. Check, and double check. Readers can always count on Devyn to create realistic characters, and then throw them into the deep end to see if they sink or swim. Torturing imaginary people is one of her favorite things to do, and no one escapes unscathed. As for her readers…. Many have gone insane and scratched their eyes out…

Just kidding. Or maybe not.

Devyn is not married. Devyn has a lot of ferrets. Devyn leads a very lonely life, and the hot New Mexico sun has scorched her brain cells. She re-hydrates them with wine, but that isn’t always a good thing. Sometimes things can get a little…strange.

Devyn can type. Devyn writes about people and places that don’t exist (or maybe they do), and will take readers to some very dark places. Twisted, even.

(Oh, stop. You know you want to go there.)

Please help support Devyn’s odd existence by reading her books and sending her an email.

In present-day England, Elizabeth has built a quiet life for herself. She has spent the centuries in solitude, moving from place to place, surviving plagues, wars and the heartbreak that comes with immortality. Her loneliness comes to an abrupt end when she is befriended by a teenage girl called Tegan. Against her better judgment, Elizabeth opens her heart to Tegan and begins teaching her the ways of the Hedge Witch.

But Gideon is hunting her still. He will stop at nothing, determined even after centuries to claim her soul. And now, Bess is not fighting to save herself alone: now, she must protect the girl she has grown to love like a daughter.

Book one of the New York Times–bestselling All Souls trilogy—"a wonderfully imaginative grown-up fantasy with all the magic of Harry Potter and Twilight” (People)

Deborah Harkness’s sparkling debut, A Discovery of Witches, has brought her into the spotlight and galvanized fans around the world. In this tale of passion and obsession, Diana Bishop, a young scholar and a descendant of witches, discovers a long-lost and enchanted alchemical manuscript, Ashmole 782, deep in Oxford's Bodleian Library. Its reappearance summons a fantastical underworld, which she navigates with her leading man, vampire geneticist Matthew Clairmont.

Harkness has created a universe to rival those of Anne Rice, Diana Gabaldon, and Elizabeth Kostova, and she adds a scholar's depth to this riveting tale of magic and suspense. The story continues in book two, Shadow of Night, and concludes with The Book of Life.

Something has always been missing from my life. A hole that I could never seem to fill. When I accidentally turn a coven of witches into nightmares, I find out what that something is.

Magic. And it turns out, I have a crap load of it. As a latent power awakens deep inside of me, I’m exposed to one of the most powerful and corrupt organizations in the magical world—the Mages’ Guild.

Barely knowing a spell from a few swear words and luck, I won’t be able to evade them alone. And that’s when I meet him.

The Rogue Natural. The best and most feared mage in the world.

He’s dangerous, mysterious, and has a vendetta of his own. He is now the only thing between me and magical enslavement.

BEWARE.
Real witches dress in ordinary clothes and look like ordinary women. But they are not ordinary. They are always plotting and scheming with murderous, bloodthirsty thoughts - and they hate children.
The Grand High Witch hates children most of all and plans to make every single one of YOU disappear.
Only one boy and his grandmother can stop her, but if their plan fails the Grand High Witch will frizzle them like fritters, and then what . . . ?
Now you can listen to THE WITCHES and other Roald Dahl audiobooks read by some very famous voices, including Kate Winslet, David Walliams and Steven Fry - plus there are added squelchy sound
effects from Pinewood Studios!

From New York Times best-selling author, Kim Harrison, comes the first book in her brilliant series, The Hollows; packed with vampires, werewolves and witches - don’t miss out on the sexiest urban fantasy you’ll read this year. Rachel Morgan lives in a world where a bioengineered virus wiped out most of the world's human population – exposing the existence of supernatural communities that had long lived alongside humanity. It’s her job as a white witch working for Inderland Security to protect the humans from things that go bump in the night. For the last five years Rachel has been tracking down lawbreaking Inderlanders in modern-day Cincinnati, but now she wants to leave and start her own agency.

Her only problem: no one quits the I.S. Marked for death, Rachel will have to fend off fairy assassins and homicidal werewolves armed to the teeth with deadly curses. Unless she can appease her former employers by exposing the city's most prominent citizen as a drug lord, she might just be a dead witch walking.

Ignoring the dead can get you killed...

All Charlie Payne wants is to lead a normal life and to be a good mom. But Charlie’s not exactly normal. She's from a long line of witches and she can see the dead.

Susan Tate has inherited a beautiful old southern mansion on the coast. Unfortunately, the property came with a million necessary repairs. And ghosts.

When Charlie meets Susan, the woman is desperate for help. Taking on a spirit who doesn’t want to see the light can be dangerous but ignoring it? Ignoring the dead can get you killed.

Haunting Charlie is the first in a spine-tingling new Supernatural Suspense that will have you clinging to the edge of your seat. If you like Darcy Coates, Shani Struthers or JL Bryan, then you will love the Witches of Palmetto Point Series by Wendy Wang!

Blessed or cursed with a connection to the souls of others, Sloan Jordan can see the best in people...and the worst. With nothing more than a glance at a photograph, she can judge the living from the dead and the good souls from the evil ones.

For twenty-seven years, she's kept her ability a secret, but eleven young women have been murdered in the mountains of North Carolina, and Sloan may be the only hope of finding their killer.

She has just agreed to help Detective Nathan McNamara with the case, when a stranger--who is as alluring as he is terrifying--shows up at her doorstep with a dark past and another puzzling mystery: she can't see his soul at all.

Now Sloan is on the hunt for a deadly psychopath with two irresistible men. One of them would die for her, and the other would kill to keep her safe.

Private investigator Charlotte Davidson was born with three things: looks; a healthy respect for the male anatomy; and the rather odd job title of grim reaper.

Since the age of five, she has been helping the departed solve the mysteries of their deaths so they can cross.

Thus, when three lawyers from the same law firm are murdered, they come to her to find their killer.

In the meantime, Charley's dealing with a being more powerful - and definitely sexier - than any spectre she's ever come across before.

With the help of a pain-in-the-ass skip tracer, a dead pubescent gangbanger named Angel, and a lifetime supply of sarcasm, Charley sets out to solve the highest profile case of the year and discovers that dodging bullets isn't nearly as dangerous as falling in love.

Grateful Knight isn’t looking for love when she moves into a rent-free house on the edge of a graveyard. At twenty-two, all she wants is to recover financially so she can move back to the city where she belongs. But sparks fly when the gorgeous cemetery caretaker, Rick, introduces himself and mentions his suspicion that her new house might be haunted. Her attraction to him seems supernatural, and despite her resolve to not get involved, she literally can’t keep her hands off him. When things in Grateful’s house start moving on their own, another man enters her life, Logan, a sexy ghost with a dark secret. He says Rick isn’t what he seems and indulging her passion for him could cost her soul. One thing’s for sure, magical forces are at work in the tiny town of Red Grove, and they’re converging on Grateful. Life will never be the same once she's forced to choose between the ghost and the graveyard.

The day of his arrival in colonial Massachusetts in 1692, Desmond Harvey is befriended by four witches claiming to be travelers from the 21st century.

Being a witch and practicing magic could mean the difference between life and death. Swinging by a tree branch with a noose around your neck was the death part. But there was always a downside to not practicing magic, too. When you needed it the most, it didn't work. It was a hard lesson to learn that came at a cost. It was a damned if you do and a damned if you don't kind of situation. You had to weigh your options and choose very carefully.

She brushed her fingers across her lips. "Baby Jesus, Joseph, and Mary. You kiss her like that, Desmond Harvey, and she's bound to be yours until her dying day, and perhaps even after that."Amazon
